Changes for version 6.21 - 2003-11-11

  • NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl isntead of PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger]
  • Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version for backwards compatibility.
  • Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written.
